COMMENTS: Who is R.A. Dickey? Short answer: He's the Mets' Charlie Haeger. Long answer: Read this article — it contains the phrase "missing the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow."

Who is Clayton Kershaw? Just the latest Dodgers starter, who will hopefully continue/improve upon these preceding performances:

7/21 Chad Billingsley: CGSO

7/22 Hiroki Kuroda: 8.0 scoreless

7/23 Vicente Padilla: 7.0 IP, 1 ER

7/24 Carlos Monasterios: 5.0 scoreless

Now if the offense can only score more than two runs during regulation, Kershaw might actually get a chance at a victory. Has James Loney's walkoff energy infused the Dodger bats? Or will the Dodgers end up eating a knuckle sandwich?

Generally I have pretty good reading comprehension. However, just now, I clearly failed in that regard. THis is evidenced by the fact that I began making a Bloody Mary with Mr and Mrs T Bold and Spicy Bloody Mary Mix, then proceeded to add lots of spicy ingredients as if I were starting with a mix that had no spiciness to begin with. I am now paying the consequences of my reading comprehension failure.
